After graduating from Columbia University in New York, Meshach Cober MD, FACS went on to study medicine at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and obtained his medical degree in 2011. He then completed a residency in general surgery at York Hospital in Pennsylvania. He has practiced general surgery and endoscopy in Maryland and Florida.
Meshach is married to Betsy Cober RN, BSN who did her studies and training at York College in Pennsylvania. She has worked at multiple skilled nursing facilities and served as a nurse manager.
Together, Betsy and Meshach have started Cober Hernia to pursue their dream of trying to help people obtain their best health in an efficient and easy manner. The Cobers' interests involve spending time together as a family, serving in the local church, and being active outdoors.
Our goal is not to rush through as many patients as possible, nor is it our goal to make patients life-long "customers." Rather, we wish to equip people to live healthy and joyful lives and to help them when unavoidable health concerns do arise.
We have a "less is more" approach when possible and we believe that patients with inguinal hernias should have access to a focused surgeon who specializes in groin hernias and who offers the full gamut of repairs from mesh approaches to non-mesh, tissue-based repairs.
